While the children are often threatened, there is never much violence in these books, and the kids usually escape their enemies (though sometimes they are changed in odd and unnerving ways). There are 62 books in the series, and most feature 12 year old protagonists who are confronted with strange, paranormal events. Stine, were introductory horror novels for children of my generation.

An ancient curse has left the village of Colbren vulnerable to the dead rising and becoming “bone houses.” Normally, they just stay in the woods, but something has changed.
